Sorry, this is old, but.. Why didn't 41 speak at the Repub.

[cidliz2004]

convention? Didn't read anything about this on the board, must have been absent for a couple of days.

I am really shocked that W, who says "I love my dad", didn't have his "dad", who also just happened to be the 41st President of the United States, speak at the convention...Arnold and Zell were more important to give the stage and honors to? What is the "official" reason, not enough time?

1. I think the psychological term is

oedipus complex

2. True, but why isn't

ANYONE talking about this MAJOR FLIP FLOP? "I love my dad", but "I won't let him talk at the Repub. convention where he SHOULD have spoken as our last Repub President AND as Shrubs Dad?

4. old thief's too canny to appear

3. Isn't that weird!?

We had Clinton AND Carter. BOTH spoke. I can't imagine that they wouldn't have. Who would have stood for it?

Maybe the embarrassingly glaring nepotism angle?...No, that would presume some ability to experience shame. I can't figure it out either. Maybe they couldn't afford 41's fee! What did he charge Rev Moon?

5. It truly is an insult to 41

Why is this not even being asked? 43 is a big big hippocrate, how do you not even acknowledge the previous Republican President at the Republican Convention who just so happens to also be your father?

Wasn't Jeb "too busy" to attend the convention as well?

6. George II has a new father. He hears from GOD.

This is documented 3 times. Bunnypants thinks he is GOD's son. HIS instrument on this Earth.
If that doesn't scare you nothing will.

7. Bunnypants??????? THat is a new one!

This guy is such a crazy loser that I don't know HOW IN THE HELL anybody could want him to represent our country! More than one person has simply said (totally unpolitical people) Bush is an embarrassment to this country.

8. Poopy's senile....did you see him holding the 'ARNOLD' sign?

I thought he looked rather confused or maybe elated that his son spoke with an Austrian accent.

9. I don't think daddy approves of the fucked up mess his boy has created.

Daddy dose not want to be associated with this. He already fears what history is saying about him and then to think the fruit of his loins is screwing up in a Catastrophic manner!

[Leilani]

10. Because 41 is not his real father..

Ronald Reagan is...

or that is what he wants you to believe.

Only problem is Reagan s real son is on our side! LOL!
